VERY SAD NEWS has been announced for Manchester City as Key Player have sustained their first major injury blow of the international break
Kyle Walker hurt himself playing for England against Brazil on Saturday, and Pep Guardiola and his coaching staff are worried about how fit he is and how bad the injury is.
Manchester City’s first game back from the international break will be a huge Premier League game against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium. The team will be hoping that all 16 players who were called up for duty can get back without any problems.
But while the first set of games is still going on around the world, the Premier League champions have had their first big problem: club captain Kyle Walker had to leave the field at Wembley Stadium.
Because Harry Kane was hurt and couldn’t play, Walker was supposed to be England’s captain before the game started, but that job was cut short in the first 20 minutes.
Manchester City will probably be holding their breath as they watch the current international games. They have a tough run of games coming up in April, and their defence took a new hit during England’s friendly on Saturday night.
While using his lightning-fast speed to stop the South American team from scoring the first goal, Kyle Walker seemed to hurt his hamstring in his left leg. He tried to keep playing but was taken off the pitch right away.
It’s still not clear how bad Kyle Walker’s injury is or if it will keep him from playing in Manchester City’s Premier League match against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on March 31.
Pep Guardiola won’t talk to the press until his pre-Arsenal press conference next Friday. However, England manager Gareth Southgate and the Football Association are set to give an update on Walker’s injury problem soon.
The match against Mikel Arteta’s team is the first of many important games that the defending champions will have in April. They will also play Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals and Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.
Pep Guardiola and his team have a lot of very important games coming up in the English Premier League, including tough trips away to Crystal Palace, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Nottingham Forest.
